For me, it's a toss up between:
American Ninja (1985)
Bloodsport (1988)
King of the Kickboxers (1990)
The Perfect Weapon (1990) - Nothing beats the "I've Got the Power" by Snap intro when he's doing his kata.

As some in this topic have been posting bullshit titles, I will denounce and reject those posters, followed by hypocritically doing the exact same thing:
Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins

Just to add to the list
Only the Strong

I watched Only the Strong yesterday on Netflix, Dacascos was amazing. Crying Freeman should be added.

Of course, it's mine as well. Blood Sport is a classic.

Bloodsport is too good for words. I have watched it probably a hundred times in my life and it is still great every single time.
Very impressive. But brick no hit back.

Kid with the Golden Arms
Five Deadly Venoms
Those old shaw brothers movies are epic.
Add masterkiller/36th chamber of shaolin to that list.

Enter the Dragon! Started it all!

Amazing how many of us agree.
The two that immediatly jumped into my head were Enter the Dragon and Bloodsport, in that order, with the former being the Babe Ruth of Martial Arts movies.
-
"The Chinese Connection"
"Fists Of Fury"
"Slaughter In San Fransisco"-(hilarious shit,Chuck Norris` first feature film made on a 25 cent budget)
"Street Fighter"
"Five Fingers Of Death"- (all time clasic)

Bloodsport definitely next!

Seven Blows Of The Dragon

Wasn't Bloodsport a blatant ripoff of Enter the Dragon anyway? I don't know, it's just hard for me to take JCVD seriously as a martial artist.

Enter the Dragon is tops for me.

No way. It was based on the true story of Frank Dux. The only similarity was fighting in a tournament, but if that is the criteria, a lot of these movies would be rip offs.
-
Karate Kid is up there even though it has some of the worst fight choreographing of any martial arts movie.

Ok, I don't remember it that well.

My friend i hope you realise Frank Dux was exposed as a complete con merchant. Not a single verifiable claim, and damning evidence against him that proved he made everything up. Not only that but Zane Frazier, a man with an appalling MMA record, apparently knocked him on his arse in a hotel and gained entry into UFC 1.

Seriously?! Fuck. That kind of tarnishes the movie a bit. Nah...it still fucking rules. The movie still kicks ass, even if it is total fiction.
-
Yeah amongst other things:
There is no evidence to suggest he was in the military or a high level CIA operative
There is no evidence to suggest he has ever competed in martial arts at any level
He claims to have broken bullet proof glass bare handed
His one and only trophy for 5 years of undefeated full contact combat was purchased near his home
He claimed Bolo Yeungs character died right before the film was made from brain tumours
The man is a serial bullshit artist, would likely be man handled by an average fighter.

The Irony is Van Damme trained for years and fought on the Belguim national Karate Team, had a great record (something like 44 - 4 ) in both full contact and regular tournaments.And Bruce well, never had an organised fight in his life, and by most accounts never had a street fight of any note either.
-
There are a few prominent street fights Bruce participated in that have a few eye witness accounts, most notably his fight with Wong Jack Man. He apparently engaged in one against a Japanese martial arts instructor which lasted seconds and also had one on the set of ETD. There are numerous other examples that can be discussed.
Its a double edged blade with Bruce, especially because he died so young. Hes the Godfather of cinematic martial arts and was without doubt an exceptional practitioner. As such people will call you a jealous hater for saying he was nothing more than an actor, and others will say youre a fool for believing an actor could actually fight like him.
I personally believe he was legit, but thats my own opinion and i dont expect anyone else to agree with it.
